Nice car!


275/60-15 on a 8" Drag lite w 3.5" BS
26 x 4 front tire on a 3.5" drag lite

rolled fender lips, no other mods. Everything clears without rubbing, even with the usual offset rear.

still in the driveway, KS.
so will a 255/60-15 MT drag radial rub with a 15x8 4inches of back spacing? I just dont want to order tires and them not work. I'm wanting a tire that will tuck up in the wheel wells without rubbing. This is a 4dr thanks

Im not sure about the MT DRs but I put 255/60/15 BFG T/As with 4 1/4 BS 15x7 steel wheels and they were like about an 1/8 - 1/4 from the frame on the inside. from what Ive seen here 3 1/2 BS fits perfect.

Well although Im in the market for some new wheels and drag tires, Ill post up my junk anyways.... :lol:

The wheels are some Autodrag knockoffs.

Fronts: 15x7, unsure of backspacing. M/T Indy Profile G70 tires

Rears: 15x8, 4 1/2" BS, M/T Indy Profile SS L60 tires

Front springs are cut and the car is lowering about 2-3". I actually cant use the G70 anymore cause of them rubbing.
